The Foreign Tenant

Thomas Carrington has always been different. No matter how much his uncle and aunt, the Earl and Countess of Montescue, love him, nothing changes the fact that he's half-Black and American-born. An offer to move back to America to live with his mother intrigues Thomas but is quickly forgotten when wealthy Belgian aristocrat Augustin de Vaillancourt comes to their little country village. After an inauspicious start, he and Thomas become friends and then more, bonding over their shared experiences as outsiders. But it turns out both Augustin and Thomas's father are hiding important things from Thomas. Can they navigate the revelation of those secrets or will it tear them apart?
